Tonight we wrap up season 3 of AggroChat with the November/December AggroChat Game Club Title Diablo 2. This pick was made by Grace and is largely an attempt at seeing just how well this game still holds up as compared to the titles we are used to. Join us as we talk about reconciling our memories of the game with the reality of playing it again. Additionally we get into a bunch of slantwise connected discussions during the process.

This week we are recording a bit of a special show in that we have a bunch of gaming stuff to talk about… but also Rogue One happened. So as a result we are dividing the show in essentially two parts. The first part we talk about a bunch of gaming topics, and in the second part we give an intermission of sorts to let folks know we are about to delve into a spoilery discussion of the new Star Wars film… Rogue One. For those really cautious our spoilery discussion begins around 56 minutes into the podcast.

On the non-spoiler side of the table we talk about The Dawning event in Destiny and how awesome the Sparrow Racing League is. This causes a brief offshoot conversation about how we actually grip our controllers. A few of the crew have been playing Hex the digital CCG that many of us backed eons ago in kickstarter so there is some discussion about its current state. Bel talks about the Warcraft community Icecrown Challenge charity event. Bel also talks about his experiences playing Let it Die the Darksoulsian Rogue-Like set in a Neo Tokyo setting. Finally wrapping up the pre Star Wars discussion is some talk about the 2nd edition of the 7th Sea Pen and Paper game.

Tonight we got a bit of late start, but once things got rolling we recorded a proper show. Last week we had pushed off the topic of Pokemon Sun and Moon because we literally ran out of time. We start recording around 9 pm CST and when it is past midnight… we know we are in trouble. So we talk a bit about the game and things that folks have noticed about it. Several of us are not terribly far along… others have beaten the game. Grace talks about her addiction to Justice Monsters Five and how no other games really matter at all.

Bel goes on a discussion about his feelings about various streaming options and why he is moving towards Beam. Bel talks about how this is the year that he stopped browsing steam, because there is just too much random stuff out there. This spawns a conversation about games that get lost in the mix… like Obsidian’s recent release of Tyranny. This oddly spawns another contorted shift as Bel talks about that he figures out why he doesn’t really enjoy Halo games. We shift gears and talk a bit about Final Fantasy XIV and the Alexander Turn 11 fight. Finally we wrap things up with some talk about the new Star Wars Destiny Collectible Card Game.

Belghast laments the feeling of not exactly knowing what day it is… as we return from our Thanksgiving break to start the show once more. This week there really is only one game we could be talking about that that is Final Fantasy XV which has all of us playing it… in completely different styles. We try our best to talk about non spoilery elements of the game, and mostly talk about the look and feel and play style. Additionally we talk a bit about The Game Awards and some of the announcements and games footage that was shown there. Similarly we talk a bit about the Playstation Experience and a few of the games that were shown there as well. Finally we wrap up with some discussion about Moebius Final Fantasy and how it has become Tam’s new sleepytime game.
